The fact that Kings rookies Andy Andreoff and Tanner Pearson each contributed two goals to 6-1 rout of the Ducks’ rookies at the Honda Center on Saturday doesn’t mean the Kings’ left-side scoring woes have been resolved.

But the duo’s performances offered reason to believe a solution might not be too far off and promised to raise the level of competition for jobs when the main training camp begins next week.

Pearson was among the hopefuls who auditioned to be a solution on the left wing last season, playing one playoff game after scoring 19 goals in 64 games with Manchester (N.H.) of the American Hockey League. He’d like to get another chance this season.
